Webhooks get body

Brahim ESSALIH

Hello everybody, 

I'm trying to use JIRA webhooks, I need to get the JSON body send by JIRA when when an issue has been updated and get the field which is updated.

is it that possible ?

This is a snippet of my descriptor.json

"webhooks": [
			{
				"name": "Hello webhook",
				"event": "jira:issue_updated",
				"url": "/test",
				"excludeBody": false
			}
		]

 

 Best regards

Hi @Brahim ESSALIH,

If you hadn't found it already this page is useful: https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-apis/webhooks#Webhooks-Example:callbackforanissue-relatedevent

What that page says is that during an issue_updated event you should receive a changelog property in the JSON body that contains the description of what changed most recently. The example on that page shows the changelog property looks like:

"changelog": {
        "items": [
            {
                "toString": "A new summary.",
                "to": null,
                "fromString": "What is going on here?????",
                "from": null,
                "fieldtype": "jira",
                "field": "summary"
            },
            {
                "toString": "New Feature",
                "to": "2",
                "fromString": "Improvement",
                "from": "4",
                "fieldtype": "jira",
                "field": "issuetype"
            }
        ],
		"id": 10124
},

I guess if more than on field changed, then the "items" array will contain more than one entry.

Hope that helps, Jon
